if you rebuild it, they will come.... summary:
richardson's offers amazing new mexican cuisine. it is one of my favorite restaurants in the valley. it's in a questionable location and looks like a dive from the outside (even when not burned to the ground), but the inside is wonderful. in fact, when rebuilt, it promises to be better than before.
